Cubs/Rockies trad

Hernandez is in a big time slump and had been benched in favor of Jose Uribe, who will turn out to be a terrific shortstop.  The Denver report tonight said that the Cubs initiated the trade talks for Hernandez.  That was a direct quote from Manager Clint Hurdle.

I don't doubt that. He did pretty well for the Cubs. He'll fill in at 3B and provide depth for them if they trade for Mike Lowell.

Did I read correct that he has struck out 95 times this year?  If this was not a misprint, that adds gasoline to the cub offensive woes.  They also gave up the same type of guy.

Hmm... what's the record for most K's by 3 guys in the same lineup in one year? Sosa and Hernandez could break that record alone :P

Wow talk about trading some K's.  Tough call on this one, but I believe it takes the Cubs out of the Mike Lowell sweepstakes.

I don't think so at all. Jose provides the Cubs insurance in case they can't get Lowell and depth if they do.

I havent been watching lately. This is an official trade? If so, the Rockies DEFINITELY win. Hernandez is gonna K 225 times this year and Bellhorn needed a change of scenery. Coors will help him out a lot. Only the sCrUBS!
